Jing Xuan was extremely sad, with tears in her eyes!
He didn't forget to complain, "Since the mother and concubine already knew about it, why didn't you tell me earlier? Let her daughter be like a clown."
"Xuan'er..."
"Now that my daughter has lost all face, how can she still have the face to meet people?" Jing Xuan cried.
Concubine Xiao's face sank, and with a distressed expression, she sat next to Jing Xuan, stroking her twitching back, and her tone softened.
Said, "Mother concubine only found out later. I wanted to tell you after today's affairs are over, so that you girl will give up."
Jing Xuan only cares about crying!
"You can't let your mother-in-law step down in public today. Your mother-in-law hasn't taught you a lesson yet. Okay, don't cry anymore. This is not the time for you to cry."
After saying that, Concubine Xiao sighed deeply.
Jing Xuan wiped away her tears and glanced sideways at her mother-in-law. Seeing that she was very worried, her face was full of expression.
He sniffed and asked, "What's wrong with the mother-in-law?"
"It's not about Qu Jiang this time!" He got up and continued to sigh, "Just now, I went to see your father and emperor, and only then did I know that Qu Jiang's people came to Beijing this time to seek marriage for Qu Jiang Wang."
"Begging for a kiss?" Jing Xuan's lacrimal glands came and went quickly, and asked, "Since it's a begging, what is the concubine doing so hurt?"
"This time the two countries are in a relationship, and the other party is King Qu Jiang. Your father is worried about Zhong Zhongzhong, so naturally you can't point to a woman at will. Back then, you gave up your marriage with a distant clan, but now, you are not too young, just now. Listening to your father's tone, it seems to be going with you."
When she heard this, Jing Xuan's face was shocked.
He stepped forward in a hurry, grabbed Concubine Xiao's wrist, and said anxiously, "Concubine Mother, my daughter will never marry Qu Jiang, you also know that King Qu Jiang is over half a hundred years old, how can the father be so cruel? Concubine Mu, you Help my daughter!"
Tears!
Concubine Xiao raised her hand, touched Jing Xuan's head, and looked at her distressedly, "Xuan'er, concubine mother certainly doesn't want you to marry, but this matter is related to the peace between the two countries. You can't be the master, but don't worry, the mother-in-law will have a good discussion with your father."
"Then, if the royal father insists on marrying his daughter, then..." After saying this, Jing Xuan felt anxious and uncomfortable.
Although I knew from the moment I was born that even though I was a high-ranking princess, after all, I couldn't help myself in getting married.
First, as a chess piece, the emperor pointed it out to a certain minister or a big grid in the court, and it has always stabilized the court situation.
Second, it is used as a sharp sword to shoot at other countries, as a weapon of harmony.
This has been the case with princesses since ancient times.
Jing Xuan naturally couldn't run away.
But she didn't expect that, when she escaped the marriage of the distant clan, she could not escape the marriage proposal of King Jiang of the old song.
She was tugging at the corner of her clothes, crying with tears all over her face.
Concubine Xiao only had this daughter, so she was naturally reluctant.
Holding Jing Xuan's hand, she said firmly, "Don't worry, the mother-in-law will never let your father marry you."
"But if the father and the emperor made an order, the mother and concubine have no way!
"Then cut off his idea before your father's decree."
"Yep?"
Jing Xuan didn't understand, but she felt sad, so she cried while burying herself in Concubine Xiao's arms.
The next morning!
Concubine Xiao boiled a bowl of ginseng soup and brought it to Fuyang Palace.
Emperor Qizhen was looking at the memorial, but he was absent-minded and had a dull expression on his face.
The old eunuch Zhang Gonggong next to him leaned over and said, "If the emperor is tired, why not take a break?"
"I'm not tired, I'm just bothering Qu Jiang to ask for a marriage."
"Could it be that the emperor is thinking about which princess to kiss?"
"You old fellow, you are the one who knows my mind the most."
Eunuch Zhang smiled, "The slave has been with the emperor for decades, if you can't see this, then what qualifications does the old slave have to accompany the emperor!
Emperor Qi Zhen put down his memorial, sighed, and looked up at Zhang Quan.
Asked, "Then tell me, is it good or bad for me to let Jing Xuan go with the past this time?"
Eunuch Zhang thought for a moment, bowed his body, and said, "Princess Jingxuan is very smart, smart and cute, and she is beautiful. If you marry Qu Jiang, it is naturally possible. However, although the princess has advantages, her personality is not. A little loose, more lively, if you marry far away from another country, and there is no one by your side, I am afraid that there will be trouble."
Emperor Qizhen nodded, but frowned.
"But among my many daughters, Jing Xuan is the only one who just got married."
What a headache!
Just at this moment, Concubine Xiao came in.
"Chen and concubine, please refer to the submission."
Curtsey!
Emperor Qizhen raised his hand, "Concubine Xiao doesn't need to be more polite."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
She ordered someone to bring the boiled ginseng soup, took the ginseng soup, placed it on the table, and sat down by herself.
He smiled amiably and said gently, "Your Majesty, the concubine heard from the palace servants that the emperor was with Qin Zhe all night, and the concubine made a soup for the emperor by himself."
"Concubine Xiao has a heart."
Emperor Qizhen took the ginseng soup, took a sip, and put it down.
Concubine Xiao squinted at the memorial on the table, and said, "Yesterday, the emperor and his ministers said that they want to take Xuan'er and Qu Jiang. I don't know, has the emperor made up his mind?"
Emperor Qizhen was not stupid, and Concubine Xiao made it clear that she was here to find out.
He frowned, "This matter, I still have to discuss with the minister, and now, it has not been decided yet."
Don't settle down!
There is still room to turn around!
Concubine Xiao's phoenix eyes twitched and her lips parted. "Your Majesty, although Xuan'er is a princess, the matter of marriage has always been decided by the Emperor, but Your Majesty, as you know, there is only one daughter, Xuan'er, by the side of the concubine. , very sad."
A bitter gourd face!
"Among the many daughters, Xuan'er has an active personality, and I like it very much, but this matter involves the friendship between the two countries. I hope Concubine Xiao understands this."
I don't know if it was influenced by Concubine Xiao's soft words, the tone of Emperor Qi Zhen's words to Concubine Xiao was naturally not as majestic as in the courtroom.
Concubine Xiao continued to say bitterly, "Chen'an naturally understands, but the emperor should know that King Qujiang is already forty years old, and Xuan'er is only seventeen years old. Since the emperor loves Xuan'er, how can he bear it? , marry her?"
"I don't want to, but apart from Xuan'er, there is no one else to choose."
resignedly!
Concubine Xiao's eyes suddenly grew sharp and she whispered, "I know one person, my concubine."
"Oh? Who?"
"Has the emperor forgot, Kong Yu, the niece of Empress Lastshu?"
Concubine Xiao's brows rose fiercely, but she hid it very well.
Kong Yu
At the mention of this, Emperor Qi Zhen was suddenly stunned.
And Concubine Xiao did not forget to add another fire, said.
"The Kong family is the maiden's family of Empress Lastshu, and it is also considered as half of the royal family. Moreover, Kong Yu is not too young. He has been waiting in the boudoir. The emperor can bestow her name as a princess and marry her to Qu Jiang. , it will naturally be a matter of course.”
